Vinnie Ream : printed for private distribution only; and to preserve a few souvenirs of artist life from 1865 to 1878 . tP Stpam iJ^axxi. Vinnie Ream Hoxie, whose death is mourned by a multitude of Washingtonians, wasfor many years one of the most interesting members of this community. She was best knownto the public as the woman who made a statue of Abraham Lincoln, this distinction arisingnot merely from the high artistic merit of the work itself, but from the fact that at that timethere were very few women sculptors. Today there are many, and it may never be knownjust how much they owe to Mrs. Hoxie for her pioneer performance. But Vinnie Ream,as she was so fondly known for years, even after her marriage, did much other work thanthe Lincoln, and her standard of taste and of execution was always high. Added to herartistic achievements, Mrs. Hoxie was blessed with a charming personality that brought hermany warm friends, who now mourn her loss as that of an exceptional woman, always sym-pathetic in the sorrows of others, always eager to help, unflagging in her charities and practicalphilanthropies. 64.
